Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libphp-adodb, the 'adodb'database abstraction layer for PHP. The Common Vulnerabilities andExposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2006-0146

Andreas Sandblad discovered that improper user input sanitisation results in a potential remote SQL injection vulnerability enabling an attacker to compromise applications, access or modify data, or exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. This requires the MySQL root password to be empty. It is fixed by limiting access to the script in question.

GulfTech Security Research discovered multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to improper user-supplied input sanitisation. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause arbitrary scripts to be executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user's machine, or result in the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed inversion 1.51-1.2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed inversion 4.52-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed inversion 4.72-0.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libphp-adodb package.
